We think you will be intrigued with our discovery that much 
more fragrance occurs in some color classes than others. 
THE ORCHID PINKS 
Late 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) ML—44"’. Today's most 
popular inexpensive Iris. Though originated years ago, hence 
very low in price, this is still recognized as an aristocrat, probably 
to be found in more gardens than any other modern Iris. Really 
a bicolor, this beauty has standards of soft lavender, falls of deep 
lilac-rose. No Iris collection is complete without it. Unlike most 
of the ‘’Mohr family”, it is not a Pogocyclus hybrid. Honey 
locust fragrance. A triploid Iris, 36 chromosomes. 
35c¢; 3 for 90c; 12 for $3.25; 100 for $25.00 
ORCHID LADY (Salbach 1943) L—34”’. Among orchid pinks, 
this variety is unsurpassed. Notable for size of flowers, thick 
substance, flaring falls, exquisite coloring. Superb, both in the 
garden and for exhibitions. The faint undertone of brown gives 
the pink tone prize-winning richness, especially under electric 
light. Delightfully fragrant. $3.50 
THE PASTEL PINKS 
Early 
CALIFORNIA PEACH (Salbach 1941) E-EM—38”. Introduced 
in 1941, yet it won a place in the 1944 SYMPOSIUM and in both 
SYMPOSIUMS since then, demonstrating its widespread popu- 
larity. A gorgeous blending of pink and gold, enlivened with a 
dash of lavender-blue in the center of the falls. A large flower, 
elegantly formed. Exquisitely fragrant. Price sharply reduced 
this year. $2.50 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937) EM—48”. This is that tall 
pink with enormous blooms at which so many of our visitors 
marveled last May. It has appeared in no less than 4 SYMPO- 
SIUMS to date. A lovely shade of amaranth pink, with just a 
hint of lilac. Attractive russet markings at the haft. Very fra- 
grant. 49 chromosomes. Tete 
MISTY ROSE (Mitchell 1943) EM—36”’. A pink so distinct 
that it will not properly fit in any regular color class. Standards 
a pleasing silvery or pearly pink; falls flushed vinaceous rose. 
Flowers very large. A seedling of SEDUCTION. A good seed- 
parent for breeding either pinks or plicatas. Delicately Bea co 
Midseason 
*FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass 1942) M—40’. One of the few 
new Iris which we can hardly recommend for the fancier’s dis- 
play garden, yet which will be an invaluable asset in the collection 
of any breeder working on pinks. The flowers are small and 
poorly formed, the stems too large and: tall for the flowers— 
yet in spite of these faults, this variety possesses an exceptional 
fascination derived from the totally new color—a melting pink, 
like the foam on a strawberry soda, combined with a startling 
tangerine beard. Fragrant. 48 chromosomes. $2.00 
CHINA MAID (Milliken 1936) M—40’’. The only pink that 
appeared in all 7 SYMPOSIUMS. A lovely light pink, standards 
and falls bordered gold. Hardy. Fragrant. 48 chromosomes. $1.00 
DAYBREAK (Kleinsorge 1941) M—38’". DAYBREAK tied 
with OLA KALA for the 1946 DYKES MEDAL, so no award was 
made. Obviously this is the new pink that has received the widest 
acclaim of all, for it is also by far the highest ranking pink in the 
‘46 SYMPOSIUM. A huge blend of pink, gold and copper, like 
daybreak itself. Perfect form and excellent branching. Pleasingly 
scented. 48 chromosomes. $5.00 
AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) M—38". A French variety that has 
won'a high reputation in this country, among both Iris fanciers 
and breeders. Used by the hybridizers because it is one of the 
truest pinks. Actually shrimp pink according to Ridgway, with 
a hint of heliotrope, and mellowed by a yellow throat. Very 
fragrant. 49 chromosomes. $1.00 
*PINK OPAL (J. Sass 1934) M—38". Finest of the inexpen- 
sive pinks. A clear pink self, with the faintest tinge of lavender. 
24 chromosomes. 50c 
*NO-WE-TA (H. P. Sass 1932) M—33”. A true pink self, 
with yellow flushes at the center, that is as welcome as its 
Indian name signifies. Standards arched and frilled.. 24 chromo- 
somes. 40c 
*MANYUSYA (J. Sass 1944) M—32”. A recent descendant of 
NO-WE-TA which we believe will be immensely popular. A large, 
beautifully ruffled clear pink, without blendings of other colors. 
Simply exquisite. Delicately scented. $10.00 
Late 
RAMESES (H. Sass 1929) ML—38"". A DYKES MEDALIST 
in ‘32. A fine blend of pink*and yellow. 48 chromosomes. 40c¢ 
*PINK REFLECTION (P. Cook 1942) L—36’. A very distinc- 
tive chamois pink that received the AWARD OF MERIT in 1944 
and ranked next to the highest of all pinks in the ‘46 SYMPO- 
SIUM. It has great appeal to the true Irisarian. Lovely and 
nymph-like, this has-a crisp quality that makes evident its 
splendid weather-resisting substance. Fragrant. $6.50 
ELIZABETH ANN (Lapham 1940) VL—40’’. A delightful 
creamy pink, exceptional for height and number of flowers per 
stalk, as many as 11. One of the last to bloom. $1.50 
MARISHA (J. Sass 1939) VL—38’". A frilled pink blend with 
a heart of gold. Not only stunning in itself, but has proven a 
useful parent, giving pink blends of remarkable purity. Vigor- 
ous and well branched. $1.00 
THE DEEP PINKS AND ROSE : 
Early 
*OLD ROSE (Salbach 1940) EM—40’’. The tallest and, we 
believe, the most beautiful variety in this color class. Flowers 
very large, bright ‘‘old rose’’ color, shading to deep Pompeian 
red near the haft. Try this, and watch your visitors stand in ad- 
miration. Pleasingly fragrant. ; $3.00
